POET’S NOTE: I dolong for Heaven, every time I read a newspaper or watch the news on TV—or hear of human suffering around the world. Many times a week I pray, “Thy Kingdom come” and “Come, Lord Jesus”.

Yet God is His creative mercy and grace gives us glimpses of Heaven on a daily basis. All we need to do is look at the sky, and we are lifted to another, richer dimension. And when winter suddenly turns to spring, the message of Resurrection is overwhelmingly clear! Our Lord is here! His visible return is simply a matter of time. MLB
